I did those changes, restarted samba, and tried to connect to \\kolob as
you described, but there's no /var/log/samba/log.magaly-pc file
produced, or other similar file with matching timestamp.  The only
relevant changes in that directory are in /var/log/samba/log.nmbd, which
has these lines with that Windows client name (plus a few subsequent
lines that may be useful):
